Again, it is Apple Macintosh that put goosebumps into my skin today. Because after having thought about the iPad not more then an hour or two, these guys made me do it again.

They suggested that the benefits of increased access for people in China and a more open Internet outweighed the moral problems [...]
Ever since the xPhone (sorry, German only), we know there’s nothing a smartphone can’t do. Apart from those things only mutiple smartphones can do.
Due to the fact that Stradivari produced only a strictly limited edition of instruments (of which some are in the hands of evil emperors like André Rieu today), the Digital Revolution had [...]
This coming weekend Erika Arzt and Juan Linares will attempt to reactivate the wheel of the Spree-Park in Berlin’s Treptower Park. A former technician of the Spree-Park will arrive to Berlin with the intention to re-activate the wheel. If he should succeed, they will have the wheel turning on Sunday, November 8, all day long. Due to technical and [...]
Ask your favorite search engine to find, say, a tutorial on how to make a raft out of plastic bottles and it will come up with a list of relevant videos and articles – if any exist.
